@lednabwm@mstdn.party I will keep this brief. I know I'm not going to change your mind, that's ok. There is a substantive difference between the Old Testament and the New. Certainly one informs the other, but one also supersedes the other. To jump back and forth quoting both is rather like approaching modern American jurisprudence and then pretending that slavery is still the law of the land. There is plenty to object to in the NT, no need to try to find things in the OT.

@wolleysegap But that’s Christianity in a nutshell. Abandon the Old Testament UNLESS it contains something you really like, and then use it to back up your feelings. @lednabwm

@AlliFlowers Why are christians even using the old testament? Isn't the whole point that they follow the NEW testament, not the old way? @wolleysegap @lednabwm

@BackFromTheDud Exactly! Cause Jesse “fixed” the original. But evidently the dude left out a lot of the ugly, so today’s believers feel it necessary to supplement from the old book. You know, like the part about man not lying with man. I guess they don’t really believe he fixed it. @wolleysegap @lednabwm

@AlliFlowers "Oi! LEVITICUS! I want a word with you, yer great steaming homophobe!!" @wolleysegap @lednabwm
